Hyundai has taken the wraps off the RM15 concept today at
home in Seoul.

At a first glance it looks just about the same as last year's
Veloster
Midship concept except for the i20 WRC-inspired livery, but underneath the
familiar skin there are some major changes. First and foremost, weight has
decreased by 195 kg (429 lbs) to 1,260 kg (2,777 lbs) thanks to an aluminum
spaceframe combined with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) body panels.

Weight is distributed 43:57 front/rear while power comes
from the same four-cylinder 2.0 T-GDI mounted transversely behind the seats and
ahead of the rear axle. Compared to last year's concept, the RM15 now has
vertical air-intake slots in the flanks and rear wheel arches to increase cooling
of the engine bay.
